My first thought was that converting a theatre to a hen house was a wee bit extravagant. ;-)

My children are bullying me to convert an old 20'x12', deep litter henhouse to a *playbarn for the grand children*!

If you don't fancy the job you could tell them about histoplasmosis and suggest you'd not feel safe for the grandkids to use it unless you burnt it down first?

Er chicken restaurant, not hen house..

My first thought was 'Playhouse isn't a Blues Band I have heard of'...

WIKI==========================================================

A chicken shack is a restaurant that primarily serves chicken.

The term may also refer to:

Chicken Shack, an English blues band Harold's Chicken Shack, an American restaurant chain in Chicago, Illinois Chicken Shack, an American restaurant chain in metro Detroit, Michigan Chicken Shack, an Australian restaurant chain in Melbourne Jimmie's Chicken Shack, an American alternative rock band from Annapolis, Maryland "Chicken Shack Boogie", a 1948 jump blues song by Amos Milburn Back at the Chicken Shack, a 1960 album by jazz organist Jimmy Smith "Back at the Chicken Shack", a jazz/blues song by organist Jimmy Smith, covered by many artists

What is isn't, is a hen house.

Last used for chickens around 1980!

That's Yorkshire for you.

Darn Sarf they're converting chicken shacks into studio apartments.

The other way has been done...

Nice job by the way Bill...

Thank you. It was good fun, and killed two birds, as it were. The playhouse was disused -- indeed it had rarely if ever been used because the kids prefer to play in the real house where there's fast wifi -- and the old chicken shack was falling to bits. As a conscientious landlord I decided to demolish and rebuild. The tenants are now very happy and who knows they might lay an egg one day...

Mine are absolute bird brains.

Do chickens lay eggs? If so, when does a chicken become a hen? ;-)

When she's of legal age to meet Mr Cockerel and get a ring on her foot.

They might prefer it to be a bit darker in the nest box.
